Quote: Aubrey and Paul Davison decide to celebrate their wedding anniversary by inviting their four children and their significant others to a family reunion at their remote weekend estate. But the family reunion goes awry when their home comes under siege by a mask-wearing team of crossbow-bearing assailants. The family has no idea who’s attacking them, why they’re under attack or if the attackers are inside or outside the cavernous, creaking house. All they know for certain is that nobody is safe.

This was a cool movie. I liked the big group of characters all in an enclosed setting. I also thought it had a good amount of scares and the twist was nice. It doesn't try to overcomplicate things. More horror films should take this route. This is so much better than the Paranormal films and even the James Wan films. It's tons of fun and it works.

One of the worst horror films released this year. It got a very plain and simple marketing campaign here in the UK and had some decent reviews and yet I honestly don't know anyone who actually liked it. It just failed to deliver on all levels and was essentially nothing but a clichéd mess. One to avoid!

i thought the movie was decent/pretty good-ish. what saved the movie IMO, and helped me like it as much as i do, is awesome Sharni Vinson. not a huge deal but i really wish we had seen the axe trap that Erin set up (at the front door) actually used on one of the attackers.

i know for me, after hearing about how this movie was THE MOST AMAZING MOVIE TO COME OUT IN YEARS (several sites i frequent said as much) for about 6 or 7 prior to the film's regular release, it was hard not to get my expectations up due to all the hype. again, it's not a horrible/bad movie but IMO it wasn't what many sites/reviews made it up to be.

Not a great film by any means but still a lot of fun. It's purely satire without directly spoofing any particular films, instead targeting primarily the sub-genre of Friday the 13th knockoffs of the early 80s, complete with a delightful synthesizer soundtrack John Carpenter himself would likely appreciate. I'd be willing to add it to my collection for my October horror marathons, just wish it was coming out in time for this year.

Loved the Ty West cameo. This was without a doubt a cut about average horror. Sans the god awful last 20 seconds that smells of a studio note, though I know this was an acquisition. But loved most of the film. I recommend it. And the score was full of 80s chesse and simply greatness.

The first act of this movie was a perfect example of how NOT to make a horror movie. A terribly cliche opening, some of the worst dialogue; it was all there. The second act was alright, I thought "maybe they're learning". That last act? What a blast! So much fun and energy, it was like being on 5 hour energy haha. On a 10 scale, a solid 6.5. Not bad, but definitely shaped up by the end.
